ABUSE DISPELS DREAM OF LOVE Edna McEIroy Resents Treatment of Her Husband. Asks Divorce, Alleging He Treats Her in Cruel Manner. i i The matrimonial experiences of Edna | L. McEiroy, as related in a complaint for | divorce filed by her yesterday against | | Wibur A. McEiroy, are, if true, proof | conclusive that matrimony is indeed a| game of chance.

Then came a change and from that time up to within] a few months ago, when they separ-| | ated, Mrs. McElroy's happiness was but a dream. Their troubles date from: the day, when, alleges the plaintiff, Mec- Eiroy applied to her a vile and appro- brious epithet. Blows followed the words and finally & beating that left her | a bruised, maimed and heartbroken wife. | Such treatment, alleges Mrs. McElroy, | royed her loye for her husband, but | she rcmained with him, hoping that he | would become the loving and affectionate | usband of the early days of their mar d life.

Moulder Dies at Ameri- | can Hospital in the City ‘ of Mexico. Hamilton L. Moulder, second son of | | the late Andrew J. Moulder, died at the | American Hospital, City of Mevico, on | the evening of July 10. He was a well- ‘known mining engineer, and his career seemed exceptionally promising. Al- | though only 20 years of age he was a | member of the American Institute of | Mining Engineers, and was engaged in | professional enterprises of great im- | portance. Six weeks ago he was taken ill with malaria at the mining camp of | E1 Oro. He was conveyed to Mexico City | and placed in the hospital. Subsequently the malaria turned to typhoid. He had been in the country of Mexico following his profession for the past five years. A few days ago his mother, who re- sides in San Francisco, was informea | by letter that the crisis was passed and | that he was entirely out of danger. | Shortly after this encouraging report | came the message by wire announcing his death. He was a young man of genial characteristics and eminent | ability. ——— | Requced rates on household goods to & from t the East & South.

MAYOR DENIES CHARGE 1N TOTO Says Affidavit Made by J. R. T. Mershon Is Malicious. Declares Publication of Ex- Commissioner to Be Spite Work. James R. T. Mershon, ex-Civil Service Commissioner, who stands indicted for having changed the rating of examination papers of a candidate for a position in the fire department, has made public an affldavit in which he makes serious charges against Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz and the Mayor’s brother, Frank Schmitz. In the affldavit Mershon alleges that the Mayor sent for him early in April and asked him to secure a copy of the ques- tions to be officlally used in the examina- tion of firemgn for positions as captains Mershon further al- leges that he gave a copy of the ques- tions to the Mayor, who had the same copied. In his afidavit Mershon claims that the Mayor's brother, Frank Schmitz, was a partly to a scheme by which certain candidates for positions as captains in the fire department were given coples of the questions previous to the official exam- ination, thus enabling them to secure the right answers. In speaking of the afidavit sworn to by Mershon, Mayor Schmitz made the fol- lowing statement yesterday: #“There is absolutely no truth in any portion of the affldavit sworn to by Mer- shon. You will notice that he claims that I asked him to furnish me with a copy of the ‘scope of the questions.’” Now, the scope of the questions is something that is absolutely public property. Any one desiring to take a civil service examina- tion can go to the office of the Civil Ser- vice Commissioners and secure a copy of the scope of the questions. Even if I had asked Mershon for a copy of the scope of the questions it would not have been wrong to do so. “I _emphatically deny that I ever sent for Mershon and asked him for a copy of the scope of the questions, or the ques- tions themselves. “When Mershon requested me to exon- | erate him from certain charges his attor- | ney intimated that unless I signed the letter of exoneration he would publish an affidavit which he had with him at the time. him, knowing the serious charges against him, and I told him to go ahead and pub- lish that affidavit if he so desired. fershon’s affidavit is false and mali- clous in every detail where he says I asked him for the scope of the questions, and I think this statement from me will cover all that is mentioned in that docu- ment. ““The letter that Mershon desired me to | sign and thus exonerate him from the charges against him is now in my safe. I sealed the letter up, and do not intend | to open it unless there is good reason to do so." Mayor Schmitz said further that he had no doubt that his brother, Frank Schmitz, could take care of himself in the matter of Mershon's charges. Frank Schmitz when . scen designated the charges of Mershon as being utterly false and ma- licious. —e— Having sold my business at Eastland, | Mill Valley, I shall hereafter devote my entire atiention to the family coffee and tea trade (past forty years in San Fran- | cisco); thinking I can please all lovers of | the beverage and hoping to have a trial order.
